Brett Richardson
Senior Pastor
My passion in life is connecting with God and helping others to do the same through sharing the gracious story of Jesus. I enjoy teaching God’s Word, encouraging people in their life with God, listening to people, hearing their story, and meeting them where they are at.
I am married to Ruth (1989) who works as a physiotherapist two days a week and loves spending time with our church family, leading a church growth group, and children’s ministry. We have two grown up children who are married and both have two children. We love spending time with our family.
I love living in Wollongong. I love surfing and getting out and about in this wonderful part of God’s creation. Wollongong is also blessed with so many people from other cultures and I love learning about them and eating their wonderful food. I also love playing jazz and watching movies.

Jenny Shannon
women's ministry co-ordinator
My role is to engage closely with the women in the church to help them to grow in spiritual maturity and in their capacity for discipleship.
I have been married to Allan for more than forty years. I enjoy reading and I love the beach; looking at it, walking beside it and swimming in it.
I became a Christian when I was a teenager and have spent the last four decades growing in my knowledge and understanding of who Jesus is and what he has done for us. My guess is God hasn’t finished with me yet and I anticipate there will be more ‘growing’ in the ensuing decades.
